HMFMC - #127 Back To School/At The Office

Good Monday Morning Everyone.  Today is my last day as a Guest Designer for August over at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.  I was lucky enough to have joined the regular design team for two months in a row.  I truly enjoyed this honor for these past two months.  This week we were asked to use a "back to school" or "at the office" theme for our cards.

As you can see I went with Back To School theme using a House Mouse stamp titled "Taking Notes".  I colored it with Copic markers and added "rub on" alphabet letters on the notebook page. I used my wavy paper trimmer for the edges of the image piece and matted it with Basic Black card stock.   I took a copy of my little 6 inch ruler and then reduced that for an added embellishment.  The letters were stamped with an old SU alphabet set then punched out with a circle punch and matted with all different colored 1/2 circles.  I punched out two different pieces of card stock with the EK success zig zag punch and put them together.  A few gold stars were my finishing touches.  I had a lot of fun making this card for this challenge.  Hope you all join us for this challenge.   We'll be looking forward to see what everyone comes up with.  Enjoy your day and thank you so much for stopping by.

  4. What concentration this little mouse has! Wonderful card, and it was so much fun having you creating alongside all of us for July and August. This is a perfect card for the challenge too. Tonight is round 2 of dog school, she did well the first week, she is getting better at behaving, still has her moments. She is so precious when she is sleeping, ha ha.....

    Thinking of you and your husband and keeping you in my prayers.

    Hugs
